Answer to Question #174259 in Python for Paul Carpenter

Question

Describe how catching exceptions can help with file errors. Write three Python examples that actually generate file errors on your computer and catch the errors with try: except: blocks. Include the code and output for each example in your post. 

Describe how you might deal with each error if you were writing a large production program. These descriptions should be general ideas in English, not actual Python code.
